Ajax has jumped into the race for Corinthians fullback Guilherme Antonio Arana Lopes.
Arana's agent was in England last month for talks with several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham.
However, UOL Esporte says Ajax have now approached Corinthians and opened talks over the Brazil U20 international.
The left-back has a deal to 2020 and his agent is attempting to engineer a move to Europe in January.
Arana impressed scouts at a number of Premier League clubs after starring for Brazil Under-20s against England earlier this season.
